Finding Assets
Table of Contents
Summary
Free assets doesn’t have to mean bad. There’s a lot of high-quality free assets out there in the wild. All you need to do is find them. Here are some of the places that I tend to look.
Please be sure to read each post carefully and credit the artists properly!
Twitter is a really good place to find free overlays, backgrounds, BGM, and VTube Studio model accessories.
The most popular tags are:
- #freevtuberasset
- #freevtuberassets
- #フリー素材 - There are a lot of hand assets people use for viral tweets under this tag. Most of them are Japanese posts, so please translate and read the artists’ usage requirements carefully.
Booth
As mentioned before, Booth is a marketplace for many things but has a large community of artists creating models and assets for VTubers for free. You can find just about anything here.
Assets get uploaded under different tags and the site may be hard to navigate with many of the items being in Japanese, but you can use the related tags on each search page to browse around.
The best tags that I’ve found were:
VTResources
VTResources is a huge list of assets and creators. I find it a bit overwhelming but there is a lot of useful information in there.
Misc.
- VTuber Graphics has a lot of affordable paid assets; however, they do have a section for free assets on their website consisting mostly of microphones (at time of writing).
- Irasutoya is the Japanese clipart site that many members of Hololive and clippers use. Unfortunately, the site is mostly in Japanese but there is an English search.
- Okumono is a free background site that I found recommended on Twitter. Unfortunately, the site is only in Japanese so it may be a bit hard to navigate. Apparently, no credit is needed to use.
